The airline that we usually use decide that it will cost us to $50 to have them inspect before they are shipped. That going to cost us quite a bit for all the vault we have going. anyone else know a better airline or have thet same troubles. lets me know anything cheaper will help.

Try calling Emery Air Freight @ 800-443-6379. They are used to hauling poles around and they could get them to an airport near you pretty quick at a fairly reasonably rate.

I thought at some point or another Bruce Cadwal had or knew of a company that ships your equipment for you for the traveling athlete. It was posted on the vaultworld web site a few months back. See what they can do.
